BuddyPress.org

…but WordPress multisite and regular WordPress have different character restrictions in the username.

Nice 🙁

That would be buddypress/members/index-register.php. See the BuddyPress Template Hierarchy article for more details.

Update: With reference to usernames on the wordpress.org forum:

Since [dotorg11555] only a-z and 0-9 are allowed for usernames.

I’m not sure if this change will extend to the WordPress platform and BuddyPress.

sanitize_user() is used on the username at signup time so it should be alphanumeric characters plus _ space . – * and @.

Did Mandrill recently update their pricing to remove the free option?

Check you’re running PHP 5.3 or higher, just in case that’s the issue.

Try WP CLI, it’s brilliant for situations where you have shell access only.

The alternative to having WordPress posts as “topics” and WordPress comments as “topic replies” is to theme bbPress. Check out the Theme Compat article for some introductory info. You can either use an already-made theme, or have a go at developing something unique yourself.

Hi @shaughnessy119

You should ask this same question over at bbPress. Those guys handle forum-related questions 🙂

This can be done by modifying your theme. BuddyPress uses a Template Hierarchy. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask them here 🙂

I suggest you localise. Take a look at at something like Poedit. For more info see the Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs article.

Try this:

function juliahart18_filter_message_recipients( $message ) {
$i = 0;
foreach ( $message->recipients as $recipient ) {
// 1 is the ID of the user you want to exclude from the message.
if ( $recipient->user_id == 1 ) {
unset( $message->recipients[$i] );
}
$i++;
}
}

Hi John

If you’re referring to the BuddyPress Activity Plus plugin, try asking this same question on their support forum.

Check out the Template Hierarchy article. It will show you how to set up templates for BuddyPress. You can then remove the comment section and comment form from the page(s) you want.

You could create a mini plugin for this which uses wp_enqueue_script to enqueue a custom script.

The Template Hierarchy article is what you’re looking for.

Any help on which file and function is the function to uploading avatar & cover image?

These classes both extend BP_Attachment:

https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/master/src/bp-core/classes/class-bp-attachment-avatar.php
https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/master/src/bp-core/classes/class-bp-attachment-cover-image.php

You could hide that with CSS?

#li-nav- {
display: none;
}

Try asking Super Socializer to add activity stream support.

Take a look at Theme My Login. That plugin has a redirection module which will help you do that.
